I use BPv176, but I did some tests long time ago with BPv177 and CoM Encounters. If installed (CoM Encounters -then- BP), BP had many errors and would stop installation. From what I remember, it was taking too much effort to modify BP's TP2 to get rid of the errors. So I tried (BP -then- CoM Encounters). Trouble is, I don't remember what the results were.

I would suggest BP first, then CoM Encounters some where after BP -- just to keep things simple, no TP2 editing. If you do test this, please let us know the results.

Just looked, CoM Encounters extends scripts, does not overwrite them, and doesn't touch Areas.

A year ago I had COM Encounters installed and strange things happened in Windspear Hills quests - missing creatures,npcs,etc.
At the time Seanas also said it was definitely the culprit, or at least one of them, due to overwriting. In my install it went before BP176. Now if it works ok I'd install it because among other things that "Green Dragon Plate" was a keeper. Would install it just for that, heh.

CoM Encounters still overwrites creatures and some items as opposed to patching them. If you want to make it fully compatible you'll need to modify your local .tp2 to patch the files it overwrites. Once you do that, BP "may" not choke on the creatures anymore when you run it. I haven't gotten that far in my re-install yet. Still working on fixing Ascension so it doesn't overwrite so much.

Thanks E, then I'll wait to see if you can fix it. Maybe when I have some more time will reinstall as well to try to fix some worldmap problems.

Hi there. I had some problems with mega installation based on your instructions, except with many of the smaller mods skipped. Maybe you would like to know.

This is absolutely awesome! For the record I have attached the weidu log for what I am currently playing - although after this I will be making some changes... My only regret is that NeJ is not playable with BGT as things stand. My install before last was the previous BP mega mod (before most of the components were weidu-ed) and I enjoyed NeJ but as my install is for a household of 9 people - 7 of whom play BGII, having components that need to be removed at some point to make the game playable is unfortunately not an option. (Btw, can anyone tell me how I could get the user interface from NeJ without installing the mod itself? ... I really like the picture and the use of the Cardigans track...) I am however VERY happy to see the Rogue Rebalancing in there _ I had probs installing it and want it enough to do a complete reinstall. I was extremely disappointed that the author was unwilling to have it redistributed in a format more compatible with other mods.
So (back to the topic!) I am really really impressed and thank you so much for making your installation instructions available in english. I think the amount of downloads you have seen tell you very accurately that your efforts are appreciated!

oops! after re-reading the installation "manual" again (this time NOT when I am in a hurry getting ready for work...) I see that NEJ DIDNT need deinstalling .... Oh dear... I feel another install coming on. (although maybe I'll wait until the weekend!)

Thank you for your request. The new install guide looks very fine. Nearly all known bugs from my current mega-mod are solved (but I am sure, you find some new). Based on this mega-mod, the next one reaches a higher level.

Although there are about twenty persons, who test the mod and report bugs, I am the only one, who develops this monster. I don't want to come out with a unready work as the existing one, but with a most playable. All the efforts are going towards compatibility. And this needs much more time to test then I can spend on. What has begun as a hobby, now ends in a hard work. But there is a real life beside BG! So I am sorry, you have to wait a few weeks until the next release. But then a new guide, of course also in Englisch, together with the needed fixes and some compatibility patches will be available.

King Diamond will be releasing new versions of TDD, SOS, CtB and ROT in the next few weeks with alot of bug fixes.

I will gladly play it when it will be ready I would also like to test i for you if there is such possibility but unfortunately i don`t speak german

[dragonian]

Yeah but there could be some problems installing because i cannot read Leonardos instructions(unless you are using those which were translated about 3 page of this thread but i think that there were some major updates till then) and so it is more than possible that i`ll do something wrong in installation process and it will cause some issues through the game.

[dragonian]

why is it logging me out when i try to post something?
